These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the county. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
The question is... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
can they be beaten? | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
they are the Eggheads. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
And taking on our quiz champions today | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
are the Sages of Gateshead. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
This team of colleagues all work for | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
the Gateshead Library Service, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
so let's meet them. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Hello. I'm John. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
I'm 54 and I'm a library systems officer. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Hi. I'm Simon. I'm 48 and I'm a Central Services librarian. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
Hello. I'm Beryl. I'm 52 | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
and I'm a librarian. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
Hi. I'm Michael. I'm 40. I'm a librarian. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Hi. I'm JB. I'm 56 | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
and I'm the reference and local history manager. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Welcome to you, Sages. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
That's quite a billing to live up to, that team name - | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
the Sages of Gateshead. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
-Yes. -Tell me about it, how you got the team name. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
If I didn't want to tempt fate, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
I would say that we were trying to sound clever. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
But in fact I don't, so... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
I'll say that it's based on an iconic building | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
in Gateshead - | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
the Sage concert hall. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
OK. Well, listen, let's play this quiz, then. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
the prize money rolls over to the next show. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
So Sages of Gateshead, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
Well done, Eggheads. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Which means £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
And we'll start the quiz off with a round on Sport. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
Please pick a player to take on a Egghead. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
This one's got to be... got to be Simon. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-Simon. -Simon. -Yeah. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
OK, Simon, and choose your Egghead. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Hmm, um... I'll be chauvinistic here | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
and probably choose Judith, unfortunately. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
All righty. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
Opening round. It's going to be Simon and Judith playing Sport. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Into the Question Room, both of you, please. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
OK, Sport. Do you want to go first or second? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
I'll go first. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Good luck, Simon. Here's your first question. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
At the 2010 French Open, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Francesca Schiavone became the first female tennis player | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
from which country to win a Grand Slam singles title? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
It's not Switzerland because it's, um... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
the Swiss Miss... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
Henin, was it? No. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
I've forgotten her name, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
the Swiss Miss, I forgot her name. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
It's certainly not Belgium, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
because... I forgot her name as well, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
but I know the Belgians have won the Grand Slams. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-It'll be Italy. -OK. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Well, of all the names you forgot, at least you remembered this one. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Francesca Schiavone - Italian, yes. The right answer. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Judith, the boxer Chad Dawson, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
who won the WBC light heavyweight title in April 2012 | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
is known by what by-name? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Um...Mad? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
OK. Mad Chad Dawson, can see it. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
But it's Bad Chad Dawson. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
So, unlucky. Means Simon has a lead | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
which can grow bigger if he gets this. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
In 2011, the German former international footballer | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Jupp Heynckes became manager of which club? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
Ooh... | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
German football isn't my strong point. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
Don't think it's Bayern Munich. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
Um... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
I'm going to have a mad... | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
Teutonic guess at Werder Bremen. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
You mad Teutonic guesser, you! | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
We had "mad" in the last answer, which was incorrect. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
This one's incorrect as well, I'm afraid. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
-It is Bayern Munich. -Oh, dear! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
So, Judith, chance to catch up. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
In betting, the traditional Spring Double | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
is made up of the Grand National at Aintree | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
and which other race, run at Doncaster? | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Well, the St Leger is certainly not in the spring. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
It's in September. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
I think it's the Lincoln Handicap. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Yes, it is. Well worked out, Judith. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
So you have drawn level | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
and everything to play for, Simon. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
What is the real first name of the American golfer | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Bubba Watson, the winner of the 2012 US Masters? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Um... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
Guesswork...I'll go Geoff. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Geoff Watson. Geoff Bubba Watson. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
It's Gerry. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
-Gerry. -Me dad will kill us! | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Is he the golfer in your family? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
The golfer in the family, yeah. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
Well, Judith still has to get this if you're to lose it. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
Judith, at the 2011 World Cup, | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
which Indian cricketer, having scored 362 runs | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
and taken 15 wickets, | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
received the Player of the Tournament award? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Oh, gosh! | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
Well, I don't think it's Zaheer Khan, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
because that sounds a more Pakistani name. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Um... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
I don't know. The middle one - Yuvraj Singh. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
You've gone down the middle. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
Simon should have done... | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
And you've got it! You've won it. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
Bad luck, Simon. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
You can tell you know about your sport. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Just had a guess at a couple there | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
and they didn't go in for you. It means Judith has won | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
and is playing in the final round. No place for you. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Well, after that round, it means the Sages of Gateshead | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
have lost one brain from the final round. Eggheads are all there, | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
but of course only one round gone. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 | |
Next one, then, is Arts & Books. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Who's going to take this one on from the Sages? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Do you want to...? | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
-I don't mind. -I mean, do you...? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
-Shall I? -Go on, Beryl. -Go on! -OK, I'll go for that one. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
All right, Beryl, and choose your Egghead. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
It just can't be Judith. Any of the other four, though. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
I think I'd like to challenge Barry, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
because I like his shirt! | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
OK, it's going to be Barry and Beryl into the Question Room, please. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
Beryl, I like this fact I've been told about you. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
You ran a lap with Usain Bolt - well, not quite, I know! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
Just beat him by a nose, didn't you? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-And you were wearing your heels! -I was indeed! | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
I was very, very lucky. A stadium of 80,000 people | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
and I actually got to shake his hand. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
Tell me about that. So you won tickets to go and see the final, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
which is good enough in anybody's book, | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
but then you got to shake his hand. How did that happen? | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
I really don't know. I'm one of the luckiest people on earth. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
I'm hoping that my luck will hold up today. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
-Did you force your way to the front or did you have front-row seats? -I had front-row seats. -Lucky you! | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-He picked you out? -Of course he did! | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-Was that a high five or a handshake? -It was a high five. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
That'll do! | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
-I bet you haven't washed that hand since. -Absolutely not! | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
OK, right, and you hope that luck carries through | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
to this round of Arts & Books. Do you want to go first or second? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
I think I'd like to go second. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
OK, Barry, your first question. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
In the 1871 portrait popularly known as Whistler's Mother, | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
the subject is depicted doing what? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
I think Whistler's Mother a rather severely dressed lady, in all black, | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
and she is sitting on a chair. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
Sitting on a chair is the right answer. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
OK, Beryl, your first question. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
The play Hedda Gabler | 0:07:49 | 0:07:50 | |
was written by a writer of what nationality? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Hmm, right. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
I'm really not sure about this one. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Hedda Gabler... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Um... | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
It doesn't sound Italian. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
Um... | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
I don't think it's Russian, so I'm going to go with Norwegian. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
Good on you, Beryl - it's the right way to go. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Written by... Barry? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
-Is it Henrik Ibsen? -Yes, it is. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
It's only out of interest anyway. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Barry's second question. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:23 | |
What was the former name of the theatre | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
that since a major redevelopment in 2006 | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
has been known as Northern Stage? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
Oh, this is one I've missed. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
Er... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
I really don't know, so this is going to be a guess. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
Northern Stage. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
They're all northern cities, so that doesn't really help me much. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
Northern Stage... | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Right, I'll go for Liverpool Everyman. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-We had a team from there on, didn't we, Barry? -We did indeed. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
I didn't hear them saying it. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
Well, you never know! | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
It's the wrong answer | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
and Beryl did very well to keep a straight face there, didn't you? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-Is it in Newcastle? -I would have got that one! | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
Of course you would! How many times have you been there? | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
Lots and lots! | 0:09:10 | 0:09:11 | |
Yeah, a lovely theatre. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
It's a pity you didn't get that question. But he didn't get it, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
so it kind of evens out. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
You would have swallowed that one so easily. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
It means you do have a chance for the lead here | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
if you get this. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
Which of these famous artists was a contemporary of Claude Monet? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
Again, I'm not 100% about this one. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
Um... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:35 | |
I don't think it was Rembrandt. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Um... | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
I'm not sure between Renoir and Rubens. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
But I'm going to go for Rubens. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
OK, Rubens. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
You're a librarian, obviously better with the written side of this. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
And it's not Rubens. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
It is Renoir. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
It's all square. Barry's third question. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
Barry, Dean Moriarty is a character in which American novel? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
Dean Moriarty is a Steinbeck character, | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
which rules out F Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
And he's not in East Of Eden. He's in On The Road. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
Yes, he is. On The Road is correct. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
So well done, Barry. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
You have a lead, and Beryl, you need this, then. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
How is the young woman Dorothy Hare in the title of a novel | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
by George Orwell? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
Um...seems an obvious answer, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
but it may be completely off track, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
but I'm going to go for A Gamekeeper's Wife. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
OK. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
I had a sinking feeling as I heard you doing that. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-Barry, you're shaking your head. -No, she's A Clergyman's Daughter. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
-Aw! -That is the answer we needed to hear - A Clergyman's Daughter. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
Which means bad luck, Beryl - | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
it looked good for you for just a moment or two | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
with that Newcastle Playhouse question, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
but it means that Barry is through to the final round. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
Well, the Sages of Gateshead | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
have now lost two brains from the final round. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
The Eggheads all still standing. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
Our next subject, then, is Geography. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Who'd like to do this one for us from the Sages - Geography? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
You went for it before, didn't you? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
Yeah, I think if you're good at geography... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
-Definitely. -OK - JB? | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
-JB. -Choose your Egghead. Barry and Judith have played | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
from there, so you have Chris, Pat or Kevin. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
I'll choose Pat, if I may. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
You may. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:38 | |
Pat looking delighted(!) | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
So JB and Pat into the Question Room, then. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
Now, JB, you've travelled quite a lot. Done a trek in the Himalayas, things like that? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
Yes, that really was a lifetime's ambition. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
I had a friend who did business out there. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
I was lucky enough to be able to tag along with him | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
and we trekked in the Himalayas out on the Tibetan border, | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
which was fabulous. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
OK, well, I hope you kept your eyes open and took notes out there | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
in case anything from that region comes up in this Geography round. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
I'd like to go first if that's all right, thank you. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
OK, JB, first question is this. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Which of these US states is landlocked? | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
Which of these US states is landlocked? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
Right. Um... | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
Well, I'm pretty certain it's not Florida, | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
because that does seem to have a large sea coast. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
Maine, up on the northeast coast again, I'm sure. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:43 | |
Um... | 0:12:43 | 0:12:44 | |
I would plump for Kansas for that one. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
Ah, Kansas. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:48 | |
Yes. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:49 | |
Is the right answer, of course it is. Well done. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Pat, Samsun in Turkey Mangalia in Romania | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
and Burgas in Bulgaria | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
are coastal resorts on which body of water? | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
I think with those three countries, it would have to be the Black Sea. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
Yes, it would rather, wouldn't it? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
OK, both eased into this round. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Let's ratchet it up a bit now. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
JB's second question. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
Which Australian state capital | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
stands at the mouth of the River Derwent? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Which Australian state capital | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
stands at the mouth of the River Derwent? | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
I'm afraid it is going to be a guess. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
And I'm going to go for... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Adelaide. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
Adelaide for the River Derwent. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Um... | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
No, it's not. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
-Pat, do you know it? -It's Hobart. -It's Hobart, yes. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
Tasmania. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
OK. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:53 | |
Pat's second question. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
Quezon City is the former capital of which country? | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
Quezon City - Q-U-E-Z-O-N - | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
is the former capital of which country? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
Er, it... It's on Luzon Island, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
a bit north of Manila, so it's in the Philippines. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
You demonstrated by that that you know it well. It's the right answer, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
so you have a lead and JB needs this one. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
The African peaks known in English | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
as Mount Speke, Mount Baker and Mount Stanley | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
are on or near the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
and which other country? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
That IS difficult. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
Again, I'd have loved to have travelled to Africa | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
to have explored these places, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
but it isn't a continent that I have ever visited. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
Um... | 0:14:45 | 0:14:46 | |
My hunch is probably | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
to go towards Uganda. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
So I'm going to eliminate Zambia and I'm going to eliminate Tanzania | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
and I'm going to hope I'm right and plump for Uganda. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
So just relying on your basic knowledge of African geography, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
you're trying to picture where the Democratic Republic of Congo is | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
and its borders... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
And its mountainous border with Uganda. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
It's the right answer. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
Well, well done, but you need to | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
survive this to have a hope of getting into the final round. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
Pat, the city of Cartagena, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
in which country, has a port and monuments | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
that have been made a World Heritage Site? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
It's one of these Spanish names, | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
like Valencia or Cordoba, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
that pop up both in the old world and the new world. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
But the best-known Cartagena I can think of is in Colombia. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
Well, I think we have seen a very assured performance there. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
I know the outcome. I'm going to tell you that that is correct. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
Pat really knowing his onions there when it comes to Geography. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
It's correct, and puts you through to the final round. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Would you both please come back and join your teams. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
Well, unlucky up to this point, Sages of Gateshead. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
You've lost three brains from the final round. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
The Eggheads haven't lost any, so this is your last chance to get rid of one of them. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Banish them to the quiet of the Question Room | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
during the final round. This is Film & Television. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
There are two players available, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:16 | |
who are Michael and John. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-Michael. -I think Michael. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
-Definitely Michael. -Yeah. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
OK, you can have Kevin or Chris. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
Chris, please. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
OK, that was nice and simple. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Let's have Michael and Chris into the Question Room, please. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
OK, Michael, we'll give you the choice - we always do - | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
would you like to go first or second? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
Second, please. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:39 | |
Putting Chris in first. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
Chris, you've got this set. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Here's the question. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
In the TV sitcom Gavin and Stacey, | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
which actor plays Gavin? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
That's Mathew Horne. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
Yes, it is. That's correct. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
Straight over to you, Michael. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
What were the Hairy Bikers renamed in their 2012 TV series | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
on cooking and losing weight? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
Yes, that was a good change of title. It was very apt as well. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
But they do like a snack, but it wasn't the Hairy Snackers. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
I do know it was the Hairy Dieters. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
Yeah, I think jogging would have been going too far for them! | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
Hairy Dieters is the right answer. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
And Chris, during the mid-1990s, | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
Amanda Burton and Kevin Whately | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
starred in which medical TV drama series? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
Kevin Whately, better known as Lewis. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
That was in Derbyshire - Peak Practice. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
Yes, it was. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
That's correct, Chris. You have two. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
And Michael... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
During the 1980s, Nicola Freeman, played by Gabrielle Drake, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
worked in which soap opera establishment? | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
Um, not sure about this one. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
So I'll have to guess a bit. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
I don't think it was the Woolpack in Emmerdale. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
Um... | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
I haven't heard of the Kabin. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
-But I'll try the middle one - Crossroads Motel, please. -OK. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
I just love the phrasing of that question - | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
isn't that an elegant way of putting it? You could have said, | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
"Which soap opera - Emmerdale, Crossroads or Coronation Street?" | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
and you knew them all, but you had to do a little bit of extra work | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
and you still got the right answer. Well done. Crossroads Motel. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
So it's all square again. Chris, third question. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
The actress born Gladys Smith in Toronto | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
in 1892 | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
became better known by what stage name? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
Hmm...1892. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
Not Mary Pickford - she was American. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
Um... | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
Louise Brooks was fairly notorious, | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
but I think I'll go with Lillian Gish. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
OK, Lillian Gish. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
Chris, always barking up the wrong tree, | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
because it is Mary Pickford. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
Hmm! | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
-Who WAS Canadian. -Oh, she was? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
So that's good news | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
and just requires Michael to administer the killer blow here. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
This gets you through to the final round, Michael. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Helen Mirren's first nomination for an Academy Award | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
was for her performance as which queen? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
Um... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
I'm not 100% on this one. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:31 | |
I think I'll go for the middle one - Queen Elizabeth. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
OK, Queen Elizabeth I. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
It's not. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
It is, Eggheads? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
Queen Charlotte. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Wonderful film, actually. Quite old now, isn't it? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
A few years ago, yes. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
-With the now sadly departed... -Nigel Hawthorne. -Nigel Hawthorne | 0:19:50 | 0:19:55 | |
as George III. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
So, Queen Charlotte there. Well, a chance gone begging. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
It stays all square. We go into Sudden Death, | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
removing the options. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Chris, who played a woodwork teacher called Trevor Chaplin | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
in the 1980s TV drama series the Beiderbecke Tapes? | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
He was married to a character played by Barbara Flynn. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
-It was James Bolam. -It was. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
The Likely Lad. James Bolam. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
I'm sure you would have got this. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
Your neck of the woods. OK. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
Michael, which actress plays Slim in the 1944 film | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
To Have And Have Not and says the line, | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve?" | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
That's Mrs Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
I thought you were going to say Mrs Humphrey Bogart - | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
that would have given me a problem there! | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
But you did say Lauren Bacall, so that's fine. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
It is the right answer. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
I'd love to give you a bonus point. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
I won't, but just to display your knowledge. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
It was a rhetorical question, because she answered it herself | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
with what line - can you remember? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
-An approximation? -Er... | 0:21:01 | 0:21:02 | |
"You just put your lips together and blow." | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Perfect! | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
You know your classic movies. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:10 | |
Pity I can't give you another point, but I can't. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
So, on it goes. Chris... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
Which Australian-born actress, who appeared in Home And Away | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
in the 1990s, received a Golden Globe nomination | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
for her performance in the US TV series In Treatment? | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
Was that Anne Charleston? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
No, it wasn't. Other Eggheads? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
-Melissa George? -Melissa George. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
OK... | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
This will knock him out. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:34 | |
Michael, which Hollywood film actress | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
was killed in a plane crash at the age of 33 | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
in January 1942, | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
when returning home from a war bond rally? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
I think that was the great Carole Lombard. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
You did really well on that whistling question. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
1944, To Have And Have Not. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
This is 1942. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
And Carole Lombard is correct! | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
SAGES CHEER | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
I see your knowledge of those classic movies | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
has really helped you through there. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
Michael, you've made it into the final round. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
No place for Chris. Would you please come back and join your teams. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
So this is what we've been playing towards. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
It's time for the final round, | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
which, as always, is General Knowledge. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
But those of you who lost your head-to-heads | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
won't be allowed to take part in this round. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
So, Simon, Beryl and JB from the Sages of Gateshead | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
and Chris from the Eggheads, | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
would you leave the studio, please? | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
So, John and Michael, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:37 | |
you're playing to win the Sages of Gateshead £13,000. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
which money cannot buy - | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
it's the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
This time, the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
So, the Sages of Gateshead, | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four? | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
John and Michael, would you like to go first or second? | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
We'll go second, please. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
It's the Eggheads in first, so this is your question. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
What type of garment is a tabard? | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
What type of garment is a tabard? | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
-Sleeveless top? -Yes. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
Sleeveless top. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
We believe that's a sleeveless top. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
Sleeveless top is correct, Eggheads. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
Sages, your first question. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
Which nursery rhyme makes a reference to curds and whey? | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
Which nursery rhyme makes a reference to curds and whey? | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
-Little Jack Horner, isn't it? -I was going to say that. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
"Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his curds and whey." | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
-"Along came a spider and sat down beside..." -Ah, no - | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
sat down beside HER. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:48 | |
Must be Little Miss Muffet. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
"Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet" | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
BOTH: "Eating her curds and whey | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
"Along came a spider and sat down beside her | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
"And frightened Miss Muffet away." | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
After conferring, we've decided it's Little Miss Muffet. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
Phew! | 0:24:04 | 0:24:05 | |
Lucky you got your tuffet there. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
-You were nearly in the corner with Jack Horner! -We were! | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
That was close - it's the right answer. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
Heavens knows...if you'd gone Bo Beep and her sheep. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
All right, you got it in the end. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
Nice of you to say it out loud! | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 | |
You got your team-mates chuckling in the background there. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
Well done. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:23 | |
Eggheads, what is the modern meaning of the word "egregious"? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
What is the modern meaning of the word "egregious"? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Conspicuously bad? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
Yes. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
That is conspicuously bad. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
It's the right answer, Eggheads. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
Conspicuously bad. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
As that answer wasn't. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
OK, John and Michael, second question. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
The Reverend John Flynn, | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
whose portrait appears on the Australian 20 note, issued in 1994, | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
was the founder of which organisation? | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
The Reverend John Flynn, | 0:25:02 | 0:25:03 | |
whose portrait appears on the Australian 20 note, issued in 1994, | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
was the founder of which organisation? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
I haven't a clue! | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
Since he's on a bank note, it's perhaps most likely to be the bank? | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
I wouldn't think the cricket club's important enough. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
-Could be the Flying Doctor Service... -Yeah. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
So... | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
What do we think? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:32 | |
Possibly... | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
the bank wouldn't... | 0:25:34 | 0:25:35 | |
honour its own. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
I think I'd go with the middle one. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
The middle one. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:42 | |
Yeah, we're going to plump for the middle one. We really don't know, | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
but we'll say Royal Flying Doctor Service. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
I heard you say, first reaction, that it would be appropriate | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
for it to be from the Reserve Bank, | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
given that it's a bank note, | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
but in the end, after deliberation, going for the Flying Doctor Service. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
It's the right answer! Well done. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
All square. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:04 | |
Eggheads, third question. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
In Greek mythology, | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
who accidentally killed his grandfather with a discus? | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
In Greek mythology, | 0:26:15 | 0:26:16 | |
who accidentally killed his grandfather with a discus? | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
Perseus, isn't it? | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
Think it is, yes. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:22 | |
Pretty certain it is. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
I'm pretty sure it's not Dionysus. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:25 | |
It's not Telemachus either. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
-He was Odysseus' son. -Yes. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Dionysus was a god, so...I suppose he could have killed someone. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
-I think it's Perseus. -It must be Perseus. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
We think that was Perseus. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
Perseus killed his grandfather with a discus... | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
That is correct, Eggheads. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
Three to you means, as you well know, | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
John and Michael, you need to get this. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
As well as being the surname of a well-known Czech composer, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
Smetana is a Russian word | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
for a type of which foodstuff? | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
As well as being the surname of a well-known Czech composer, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
Smetana is a Russian word | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
for a type of which foodstuff? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
It's S-M-E-T-A-N-A. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
I instantly thought a sausage-type... | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
-You don't think it's a sausage? -No, I did. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
Right, I don't think it's the fruit cake. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
No. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:21 | |
So, um... | 0:27:22 | 0:27:23 | |
Yeah, if you have an instinct for the sausage, | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
that, I think... | 0:27:27 | 0:27:28 | |
is the one I would go towards. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
I'm not certain, but... | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
-Will we just plump for that? -I think so. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
-Liver sausage. -Liver sausage. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
OK, crucial question. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
You need to get this. Playing second, there's no reprieve | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
if you get it wrong. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:44 | |
So, Smetana, the Czech composer, | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
is also Russian for... | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
sour cream. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
Which means, Eggheads, you've won. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
They're always honest with me, and, as you know, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
usually the challenging teams go first and the Eggheads go second, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
so I just want to see - did you know that about Smetana? | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
ALL: Yes. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:07 | |
Just out of interest, just so you know. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Sages of Gateshead, it's been great seeing you. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
From the Eggheads' point of view, great quizzing with you. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
Thank you very much indeed for playing, but it wasn't to be. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
and their winning streak continues. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:22 | |
I'm afraid you won't be going home with that £13,000. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
And that means the money rolls over to the next show. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
Eggheads, congratulations. Who can beat you? | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
£14,000 says they don't. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
Until then, goodbye. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
